Isn't there a better name for this article? RickK 03:08, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

The title is the name of the series itself, it's known in fan communities as SatAM, being the Saturday morning version of the show, but it makes little sense to anyone who's not within said communities. --SonicAD 23:18, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Noisey Neighbors?

Sounds like a typo, but could be the way the band spells it. I'd like to see a link to the band's website as proof. (unsigned comment by User:Pathaugen)

Are you saying that "noisey" is wrong? Yeah, it might be a typo...If you Google "Noisy Neighbors Fastest Thing Alive", you get the right song, so I guess it's a typo. I've fixed it now. -- RattleMan 05:50, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Just to confirm, the show's credits have "Noisy Neighbors". - furrykef (Talk at me) 06:39, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Standardization

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Men_%28animated_series%29

The X-Men Article seems pretty solid, and the right sidebar with quick facts seems interesting.

Perhaps cartoon series should be compared and uniformed.

I've uploaded a new title card picture of better quality, and started sidebar process. We need to fill in the "xxx". -- RattleMan 06:43, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Inappropriate tone

This article should not be written from a "fan" perspective (calling the show by a fan acronym, etc.). Please rewrite to follow Wikipedia guidelines. --FuriousFreddy 02:01, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I think in this case it's forgivable to use the "SatAM" name, because it is used almost universally, and using the show's full title would cause confusion in many situations because the show's title is the same as the character's name as well as the name of a closely-related comic book series, a video game series, several video games within that series, and an anime OAV.

Shouldn't the acronym of SatAM being explained somewhere? (it's meaning) Vaughnstull 17:18, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sonic the Hedgehog on Citv?

How come the main page listed the show airing on Citv? When it was said as Sonic the hedgehog once time (with the description of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog due to the UK class this show as Series 2 while AoSTH is Series 1), it was airing Sonic Underground and corrected after that. Any proof that it was/is/will be on the channel? Yawachary 12:17, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dvd Bootlegs

The main reason Dic is releasing this box set is beacuase there have been many bootlegs of the set being sold on ebay

Yeah. I almost bought one by accident, but then I noticed Sonic Dash pictures of Sonic and Tails on the back of the DVD case. I'm glad Dic and Shout! is doing this, though. I preordered mine in the beginning of March. --User: Glitch Freak March 23, 2007

[edit] Sonic Movie.

Please stop posting about this "movie". It's a hoax. There are no resources or evidence to properly cite this. At the very least it should be noted that it's pure skepticism at this point.

Please stop posting about this until a reliable source of information surfaces. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.51.231.149 (talk) 04:57, 21 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] For the last time...

Stop posting about this movie. At the very least, grow some common sense and CITE REFERENCES TO BACK YOUR CLAIMES! Rumor and hearsay is not welcome in an encyclopedia article. Go gossip on fan forums, but keep your wet-dream-what-if's out of this article. And no, SonicAnime is not a proper citation. Until a resource like Variety, News Week, or SEGA themselves make mention of production on said movie, it's unwelcome in this article. As of this point, numerous fan sites are brushing this off as a FAN FILM and nothing more. Again, take your wet dreams elsewhere. Leave them out of this article, or I'll just keep editing them out.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.51.231.149 (talk) 08:14, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

First off, the article will include that, as it's relevant data. second, i spell things properly, AND i sort my references. Stop your insulting immediately, or i will have you banned from wikipedia. I'll keep countering your edits. RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 01:01, 27 January 2007 (UTC)


First of all, you are citing no accurate or reliable sources for your claims. While the article is detailed, if far for being written in the correct tone. My edit is no vandalism. In fact, your edits could easily be equated to that. My harsh tone is in response to your constant edits, and I, as a fan of the show in question, and merely trying to uphold the integrity of the article to prevent others from being mislead. There are tons of fan sites that are just now brushing this rumor off. Unfortunately, fan sites are NOT proper citation sources. Again, it's all good and fine if the movie were getting made. But until a reliable source surfaces, I will continue to strike it from the article. With a proxy, if I have to. And cap your I's, for Pete's sake.

My my my...for someone who doesn't want to register a free account, they sure are quick to harass, threaten and insult. First off, the article's integrity is not comromised, the sources are very reputable, including the website where the news is coming from (Richard Kuta's website). If you want to become the next Willy on Wheels, that's fine with me. it's your time that'll be wasted, not mine. RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 01:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)


I know you mean well, and i appreciate the edits, but i consider sonicstadium.org to be a credible site. they were on Sonic Heroes before gamepro released its information, after all... RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 01:24, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Not sure why that was edited out. Anyway, to put it bluntly, SS isn't a credible source. They are still a fan site. Now, if the person owned rights over the characters, or something is obviously confirmed (be it by a screen cap from the media in question, etc), that would be reliable. And in case you missed it, I had posted a link earlier from SS. The article I linked to summed up the current confusion over this "movie". Point being, Sonic Stadiums forum =/= credible. Evident by the fake script and character art. If that's a reliable source of information, than paint me pink and call me Susan. User:blank 05:51, 27 January 2007 (UTC)dsldsj;

I love these kinds of fights! Anyway, as a fan sounding out, I just want to say something very clearly...THE SHOW WAS BANNED OVER FIVE YEARS AGO. THERE ISN'T A MOVIE BEING MADE.

It was canceled you nut, not banned. User:Yuri Elite 10:14, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, look people. The truth, which will finally end this stupid and silly discussion is thusly: First, this show was made. Then, ABC canned it due to ratings being low becuase of the Power Rangers. Then Sega "disowned" this contunity and since then they have wanted to get rid of all older continuities. Meanwhile... there are many people who still love this particular series and one of the writers, Ben Hurst, who loves the show he wrote for very very much, wants to do a movie and is pushing it. However, he needs to get the permission of Sega and DiC. Both have given him very cold responces. He is continuing to try and try as hard as he can, but both Sega and DiC still have very cold attitudes about reviving it. That's where this rumor comes in. There is no movie or third season. Ben Hurst has written down some notes and says he would LIKE to do on, very much. But there is no movie planned. and there is no third season planned. The end of story. No more discussion, the end. It's a rumor, it's not true, there is nothing to back it up and it does not belonbg on Wikipedia until there is a source from Sega or DiC confirming that they have changed their minds. Ben Hurst is to be commended and respected for his efforts, but so far, the final decicion lies with DiC and Sega. They have to give him premission to "get the band back together" and make new episodes or this movie that people are talking about.

[edit] DVD

Hey, this isn't really anything to do with the article or anything, But I'm a big fan of Sonic the Hedgehog, but i live in australia....does anyone know if they have plans to release a box set of it over here, and if so, what date? Thanks Mrx9898 23:34, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pre-Satam?

Shouldn't` we add this to the artic ( Pre-satam nicknamed by the fanbase ) it was what the cartoon first was going to be like' Sally wasn't even brown but had a red dress blond hair ect and there was a male rabbit ect and Tails wasn't even in it, there were several advertisements made and even a cover. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WillTheWitch (talk • contribs) 18:58, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This is NOT the official site

http://satamsonic.com is NOT the official website, as the article says. I emailed the webmistress. She says it ain't. --Alice2 00:06, 20 October 2007 (UTC)


While Not the official site, it does keep a general good demeanor and relationship with former writers, artists and other notable figures of the SatAM series, which is how I think the site earned that title of 'Official'. -- RockyJRaccoon May 2008

But unless Sega and DIC actually sanction the site themselves, it's not official. Yes, you may have people from the show's staff contribute, but unless Sega and DIC actually own or license the site, it's no more official than some fanboi using an Angelfire account to display a few Sonic pictures. Just saying it's official won;t make it so. -- azumanga (talk) 06:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] broken links

I just checked the two footnotes and both of them have broken links.-- The Great Morgil (talk) 19:58, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cover of Region 1 Box set

If i'm not mistaken, the cover of the Region 1 box set was drawn by Ken Penders, former writer of the Knuckles the Echidna comics, and occasional penciler/artist. Should we mention this on the main article? RingtailedFox • Talk • Contribs 01:38, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Added it on Home video release history Ruizo —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.148.32.201 (talk) 07:10, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
